[Grandtopia.] When everything that is going on in the field of battle.
Aria, the Volten Sisters, and Reina were talking about the weirdness that their elder Hugo had expressed a while ago. They were now in Reina's residence.
"You know, Reina...? You are always a bad Elf when you lie" said Aria, "I know that from your expression, you are hiding something that only you and the Elders know."
Reina. He avoided the other eye gaze by staring at the floor of his house made of wood.
"It looks like I also have to unlock my secrets to get you to speak up, huh.... Haaaahh~"
Volten Sisters sees Aria confused. Whatdoes thatmean?
Meanwhile, outside the residence, there is an Elf— Lloyd rather—eavesdropping from one corner of the trees. He was quite interested to hear more details of the speech just now.
"As long as I haven't met or even been in contact with Zeeta, I've always been curious? Why do we have to live in fear for hundreds of years, until finally we become 'Masked Clever Elves'?
"At that time, fifty years ago. An Elf I've never seen before. He had long black hair and yellow eyes. My first impression at that time was .. His black hair was very similar to the Elder...."
......................
[Fifty years ago, Aria who was in her residence smiled enjoying the view of the super moon.]
The moonlight that ruled the entire Grandtopia, was able to conquer the magic lighting there. "The full moon tonight is so beautiful.... If the world were not like this, I would like to finish off tonight with other magical beings and ... and .. if possible with humans, chat about our daily lives, he said, joking about something small.... Hmm?" his gaze found an Elf walking from the direction of Hugo's residence. He immediately frowned and was astonished, who was that long black-haired Elf? He then hid his mana and followed the Elf from behind.
"The groove of his feet does not signify anything that he is an intruder. There is no sign if he is worried, or planning something." Aria's inner. He continued to follow his target for a few minutes into the depths of the forest, until he finally lost his figure. "Tsk," grunts. He then looked for where his target was going by touching his footprints. He was able to do so behind the darkness of the forest, with the help of his bewitched eyes. "This spirit...?" Aria slowly walked where the trail took her.
"I'm guessing.it's...." The place he was referring to was a lake that also houses colorful glowing fireflies. The lake is also neatly arranged, and there is a seat from fallen animals. He knew this place, in fact, he and the other Elves often came here to simply play or train magic to disguise themselves. He looked for his target who had not left a trace to all corners of his eyes, until....
"Haiii, my sweet offspring!"
He saw the Man who appeared from his right. Beware of this situation, he immediately be-roll behind and created a lightning-lined trident and stood by to immediately spawn it.
"Calm down, kid, I'm on your side! Don't put on that scary face. This is the first time you've met me, we should have talked more casually."
"Humans always cheat with such sweet words! I will not obey you! Tell me, who are you, man? Where is that black-haired Elf?!"
"Too paranoid only has an adverse effect on your future. Well, even though I don't have the right to say it."
"Ho? You dare ignore me? Then you better die!" Aria threw her trident right at the head of the Man in front of her. However, with one finger, the human twisted the direction of the flying trident into the sky and smashed it with a flick. The luster of the moon will not make anyone aware of the light of a moderate explosion from its trident.
"If I tell you what my name is, will you listen to me?"
"Depends on your attitude. Even if you show me you're on top of me, I won't bow my head to Man!"
Aria saw the human in front of her smiling. "Preciousness, yes." he said softly, which Aria did not hear. "You saw me walking out of Hugo's house, didn't you? What if I told you my name was Lucy?"
"You?!" Aria immediately made dozens of swords encircle her body. "You want to demean—"
"Lucy, Jewel, Hugo, they were the first Elves born in this world. Do you know why only Hugo lives up to this point?"
"Who are you really...? Why you...? No man should know those two names!"
"So, may I assume you're interested in listening to me and talking casually?"
Aria removes her sword, then nods. "Thank you." Aria gets a smile from him.
They sat side by side on the wood arranged around the lake. There is a distance between them.
"While I hate to say this name, my name is Marianna. A Human who has lived for hundreds of years, just like you. But, I'd really appreciate it if you'd call me Lucy."
From this remark, Aria immediately understood. He knows who the man next to him is. "Oh, yeah.... So you are .. You are the one who has always called Elder Hugo the mother of all Elves. I can't believe he's an ordinary man...."
"Fufu, you're pretty smart, yeah. But .. I'm not an ordinary man. What kind of ordinary people live for hundreds of years, don't they?"
Aria was silent for a moment. He doesn't know what to say.
"I just got out of a prison that isolated me from time and the world for hundreds of years. To begin my freedom, I want to see the face of my son after a long time apart from him. I could not see her alone carrying your burden on her shoulder. How difficult the days he experienced to avoid the attacks of Humans and magical beings who have never stopped since...." Marianna remembers the face Hugo gave her when she visited her residence. "It's all my fault. I'm sorry, but you don't have to forgive me. Because this is all .. I have to finish with my own hands."
Aria furrowed her brows again. He could not see those eyes glazed over. "Who are you really?"
"Shut your mouth as soon as you hear my whole story. What you're about to hear, can't all Elves accept. You are a clever Elf and can read the situation well, so I give you an exception." Despite her reluctance, Mariana tells her who she is, and how the Elves came from.
......................
When Aria found out about the origin of the Elves, she exploded, no longer holding back her emotions. "That-can't be! So ... Technically, our father is Morgan...?! That bastard elf, naughty, and vile?! Are you serious?! I don't accept this!"
"You are not his immediate descendants. No need for that."
"But, still! He always preached to torment every creature he met! I can't believe he's been acting like that for a long time! Knowing this makes me unable to stem my emotions in them!"
Hearing the final sentence of Aria's grumbling, Marianna recalled an incident in her past....
"JULIA! AUDREYY! I'M NOT GONNA FORGIVE YOU! I will definitely avenge this! I will change this broken world with my own hands!
"Have these words for you too, Feline, Morgan! When I return, I will definitely destroy all the Elves that are there!
"DEFINITELY!"

"...Cy...."
"...Ucy...."
"Lucy!"
"Are you good? Your face looks scarier than mine.... If I make you remember something you don't want to remember, I'm sorry...."
"No." Marianna shook her head. "I'm the one who should apologize. Being too focused on the future of our descendant, Zeeta, delivered by my grandmother, I became unaware of what was happening around me, let alone the schemes of Feline and Morgan.
"My immaturity as the Princess was the cause of all this...."
"The beta? What's up with that lineage...?" asked Aria who was getting curious about what happened involving the mother of these Elves, as well as the Elves themselves.
"Zeeta is the twenty-first descendant of Aurora. That means, one more descendant of the current Queen. The time is getting narrowed. The future my grandmother told me was that Zeeta was about to destroy the world."
"E-EH?! Destroying world?!"
"Nobody knows why he did it, but in his life, something similar happened to me, who wanted a change in the world."
While Marianna was still talking, Aria was deep in thought, which kept her from hearing it.
"However, what I always felt was strange, this future was foretold by Feline. I became suspicious, could it be that he had a certain scheme for the future to be realized...?"
"L-anu!"
Marianna turned her head. "What?"
"If the reason for our existence is to strengthen the power of the Aurora kingdom, do you think that my presence on Zeeta's side could change that future?
"I mean, I still want to live and enjoy a world I've never seen before. I also have my own goals, but I also do not want the will passed down for hundreds of years by your ancestors—agar to prevent that descendant from destroying the world—to be in vain."
"No. You can't!" Marianna answered quickly. "You don't have to sacrifice your life for the sake of a stranger, especially if it's a Human. Man is a creature who always does evil and always destroys! I don't want Elves to be like them!"
Aria smiled. "But .. I know there is a Man who is willing to sacrifice his soul and body in order to create a bright future for his descendants who are far from his era. In fact, he has never seen or even known what his person was like—bah! even the man was not born! I think it's the exact opposite of what you just said, hehe."
Marianna was made to smile. "Thank you, my descendant.
"Uhm. Youre right. You have your own life and you're the one who determines it. My job as an old one, is to remind you.
"However, I have to tell you one important thing. I'm free not for fun. I can't spend my time with you. I have no memories or family ties with you.
"My goal in life right now is just three things. Revenge, revenge, and seeing the decision that Zeeta will make after seeing this vile truth."
......................
"After that, I couldn't say anything. I could only feel his already unanimous determination, his immense anger, and his extremely beyond reason strength. I know, if he's holding back that power so much as not to leak and hurt me."
Reina and the Volten Sisters who listened intently, or even Lloyd who eavesdropped, never expected, the mother of all Elves, and Lucy who their Elders always missed, were the Humans of Aurora descent.
"Reina, tell us. What exactly did the elder tell you? I don't want Zeeta to lose her identity and make her realize the Feline prophecy!"
Reina clenched her hands. He decides. "Let me do something. The situation there is so heartbreaking. I can hear the wishes of the Great Magic Forest asking me to make it happen! I'll be right back!" Reina rushed to the forest.
"He-hey, wait!" Aria and the Volten Sisters follow Reina. So did Lloyd who followed him from jumping limb to limb.
The five Elves then found Reina touching a tree. The body and the tree he touched glowed green.
"W-what happened?!" jourgan exclaimed, "can you feel it, Serina?!"
"Which is huge ... is flowing into one place!" reply Serina.
"Where?!" ask Mintia.
"Medan battle!"
"Eh?!" Aria surprised.
"Although causadar if the timeline that has been prevented for hundreds of years by all the descendants of Aurora does not change," said Reina who was out of character, "if we let this happen, if we let it happen, it's the same with you letting your mother's will which she always carried until now just fade away!
"You heard me, didn't you, Elder?! Move to be a bolder Elf, damn it! Aren't you ashamed of that boy who's practicing runes to make what you want to deliver?!"
The Elves who saw it from behind gaped. Never has Reina been this "excited.
"No one said the flow of time was easy to change?! Then why if his ancestors failed to— no, they did not fail at all!
"My whereabouts, the Volten Sisters, Aria, and all those involved with Zeeta right now are proof!
"Evidence if the flow of time changes!
"Now, it is Zeeta's turn.no, it is all of us's turn to hold the will and make it happen!"
"Look at the scale, stupid elder! I hate it when you say Zeeta will definitely die practicing!
"You're wrong! You're wrong big time! Zeeta has already received a lot of courage fire from the ancestors, friends, as well as the magic creatures that are allied with her! Don't assume Zeeta is a kid who will only disappoint those around him!
"They believe. Parents, teachers, friends, Dragons, Dwarves, as well as even Yggdrasil Spirits believe in Zeeta! Then I will believe it too! You heard me, right? Do you believe in Zeeta if she won't destroy the world with all of us by her side?!"
Aria grinned. "Of course, you fool!"
"Yes!" reply Jourgan smiled five fingers.
"Ten poured it." Mintia smiled gently.
"He is our student. Of course." Serina is also in line with her two sisters.
"What about you, Lloyd?!" scream Reina.
Aria and the Volten Sisters are shocked to hear Lloyd's name. They looked at the tree in the back left corner.
Lloyd grinned. "He was the only man I've ever fought. Although I am the Strongest Elf Number Two, no, it should be Number Three. I want to sharpen my magic with many Humans or other creatures! Of course I believe!"
The four Elves there smiled.
"Then ... accept the answer of your desire, Man!"
